WSJ 2022 Internships
The Wall Street Journal internship program is an opportunity for college juniors and seniors and graduate students to be immersed in our award-winning newsroom, working with
our best-in-class journalists.
The paid internship program offers hands-on work experience and one-on-one mentorship, plus a robust orientation and tailored training sessions. Interns work as staff members
and are encouraged to pitch their own stories and projects.
The Journal has created a part-time spring internship for the first time that will launch in the U.S. in the spring of 2022, on top of the long-established 10-week summer program
and full-time spring health reporting internship. This expansion of our internship program will help us meet our commitment to recruit and build a pipeline of high-potential, diverse candidates who can bring their varied backgrounds, experiences and perspectives
into our newsroom.
The 15-week part-time spring internship will allow students in the New York or Washington, D.C., metropolitan areas to get newsroom experience, while continuing to attend school.
Interns will work between 16 and 20 hours a week, depending on their class load.
We offer internships in reporting, graphics, data reporting, podcasts, video, social media, audience engagement and product design. Past reporting interns have covered markets,
finance, business, economics, careers, sports, education, real estate, health, entertainment, technology, politics and national news.
You don’t need to be an expert in business or finance to apply, but you do need to be curious and eager to learn. You should have completed at least one prior internship with
a professional media organization, or published exceptional work with a campus news outlet or as a freelancer.
Summer interns are paid $900 per week and part-time spring interns can expect to get paid at a rate of at least $25.71 an hour. The program has a storied history as a pipeline
to a long and fulfilling career at the Journal for some interns.
Application links for the spring and summer 2022 internships in the U.S. can be found at WSJ.jobs.
The deadline for the spring internship is Oct. 15 and the deadline for the summer internship is Nov. 1. Applications for Europe summer reporting internships will open on Nov. 1 and close by Jan. 3. Visit our website to
